In 2002, Steven Schwartz was Appointed Vice Chancellor of Brunel University. He promised the academic staff of the 'internationally renowned' Department of Design, which was based on the Runnymede Campus, a grand new 'gateway' building if they would leave the Runnymede Campus and move to Uxbridge. The grand plan never happened: the department was closed, amaciated first by staff departures and finally by redundancies. The remnants of Design were subsumed in the School of Engineering and Design.
